Emmy grew up with mostly cats but fell in love (more like an obsession) with dogs when they adopted their first rescue, Portia, in 2013 from Tennessee. A year later, they adopted Watson, also from Tennessee. Jarvis (red heeler mix rescue from Texas) was added to the family after Watson passed away from cancer in 2022.
9 years ago, an opportunity presented itself to work for a friend who owned Portsmouth Petsitting Company. Emmy fell in love with the occupation after working for her almost 3 years and decided to open a similar company in Dover, NH
In 2016, Dover Dog Walkers and Petsitting was opened.
Within a year, with the company’s rapid growth, her husband, PJ (who had been a LNA in home healthcare for years) joined the dog walking team full time.
Until 2020, Emmy was also the dance director and instructor at Tri-Star Gymnastics and Dance in Dover. She had been working there since 1999.

We thoroughly enjoy taking care of your fur babies like they are our own while you are away.
Whether you’re gone because of a long workday, healing from surgery, going away on vacation, etc.; we are more than happy to step in and make sure that they are well cared for and loved whether it’s a quick potty break or an overnight.
We are in constant communication with you (unless of course you don’t want us to be) during your time away with messages and pictures at each of our visits with them.
We look forward to meeting and taking care of your furry (and not so furry) family members.
